For money making servers, almost always Red Hat Enterprise Linux for me.

Yes, freebsd is slightly faster, who gives a fuck. I care about uptime and ease of use.

With RHEL you get a vendor supported product that is updated extremely easily every day with a steady stream of the latest patches and kernels from Red Hat, all installed with one command, and ther are *many* *many* more products and services available for Linux.

You pay about $25 a month extra for RHEL, worth it a thousand times over for me.

Oh - Windows is just garbage. We spend more time trying to keep 5 windows servers running then I do about 50 Linux servers.
